The Rusty Scupper

View of the Harbor

     If you are looking for an upscale dinner date location in Maryland, look no further than The Rusty Scupper. The Rusty Scupper is in Baltimore City, which might sound slightly dangerous but it is in Federal Hill which is an upper class part of the city. Right on the Inner Harbor, the restaurant hosts one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. If you're lucky you can get seated up against the all glass wall that puts you just right about over the water and offers the best view, although there isn't really a bad seat in the place.
    
     The view is stunning, but the food is also pretty decent also! Kidding, the food is absolutely delicious, but it better be for the price. The Rusty Scupper is definitely not an every night restaurant, at least not for people like me. For a special occasion, the Scupper is a perfect location. If you are planning a special evening out in Baltimore, which I highly encourage, The Rusty Scupper is a great place to start.
    
     The specialties and what drew me to the restaurant were the wide variety of seafood options. Seafood is one of my favorites so I'm a stickler for the taste, and boy did this not disappoint. I tried a couple different things that were recommended to me and I'm glad I did. It made me wish I had two stomachs so I could keep eating. I had an oyster sampler that was amazing and also some crab cake sliders that were also fantastic. I also tried some steak, salmon, seafood pasta, and soup with the group I was in, and any would have been as equal of a choice as I had made. I don't think there is a bad option for food honestly. For those of age, they also have an awesome bar and drink menu
